Chapter 230 Liu Shiqi wakes up
After lying in bed for nine months, Liu Shiqi finally woke up.
This made the whole family very happy.
Hao, Bai Shuang, Cui, Liu Xin and the others all surrounded Liu Shiqi, chattering excitedly.
Old man Zhong also smiled, which was a rare sight. He felt Liu Shiqi's pulse and examined his body, his beard twitching as he spoke.
"Well, the little girl is indeed better!"
"There's nothing wrong with my body!"
"It seems that the Soul Gathering Powder I prepared has worked!"
Old Man Zhong's words made everyone feel relieved.
Although they didn't know what the Soul Gathering Powder was for, they were happy as long as Liu Shiqi was well.
With red eyes, Hao said to Liu Shiqi, "Shiqi, you finally woke up!"
"Mom was so worried about you!"
"If you don't wake up, I don't know what to do!"
In fact, Hao had thought that if Shi Qi still didn't wake up, she would become a vegetarian and donate all her money to pray for Shi Qi.
If that doesn't work, then she will travel all over the mountains and rivers to find a god to save her Shi Qi.
Anyway, she won't give up.
As Hao thought about it, tears started to flow down her cheeks.
Liu Shiqi was helpless, "Mother, why are you crying again!"
"I'm fine!"
Hao held Liu Shiqi in her arms.
"Mom is so scared!"
Bai Shuang's eyes were red, she quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Shi Qi is right, sister, please don't be sad!"
"We should be happy that Shi Qi has woken up!"
Liu Yong's adoptive mother, Cui, also persuaded him, "Yes, yes, the child is awake now and there is nothing wrong with his health!"
"We should all be happy!"
Someone walked in quickly. It was Liu Zheng and Liu Yong who were wearing official uniforms!
Behind them was Zhao Hua, who was also wearing official uniform.
Liu Zheng's mind was only on Liu Shiqi. After entering the room, he rushed directly to the bed.
Zhao Hua also wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Liu Yong.
Liu Yong frowned and reminded in a low voice.
"This is a woman's boudoir after all, please don't be rude..."
"We should just stand at the door!"
Liu Yong had already noticed Zhao Hua's feelings for Liu Shiqi when he was in Haojiagou Village, Xinyuan County.
Hao Qianrou was disfigured and cancelled her engagement with Zhao Hua.
Others said that Zhao Hua was deeply in love and refused to cancel the engagement, but it was Hao Qianrou who proposed it because she knew she was not worthy of him.
But in Liu Yong's opinion, the one who most wanted to cancel the engagement should be Zhao Hua.
After hearing what Liu Yong said, Zhao Hua clenched his hands tightly, and then released them. Finally he nodded and moved no further.
Ever since he knew that Zhuang Yan was the eldest grandson of the emperor and later ascended the throne, he no longer had the qualifications to get close to Liu Shiqi!
He couldn't ruin his future for a woman.
Zhuang Yan was sitting at the round table in the corner of the room.
He naturally saw Liu Zheng and the others, especially Zhao Hua.
He frowned and thought.
This Zhao Hua is not young anymore, he should be given a marriage!
The daughter of the Censorate seems to be pretty good...
Liu Zheng arrived at the bedside. He stared at Liu Shiqi who was leaning against the head of the bed with wide eyes.
He asked excitedly, "Little sister, you are really awake!"
Liu Shiqi saw him and greeted him with a smile.
“Second brother!”
“You’re back!”
When Liu Zheng heard her calling him "Second Brother", he finally shouted happily.
"Little sister, you finally woke up!"
"Do you know how worried I am about you?"
He didn't even dare to leave Kyoto, for fear of hearing bad news once he left.
By then, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it back.
Liu Zheng was still a little worried. He looked Liu Shiqi up and down and said, "Are you sure everything will be fine this time?"
He looked at old man Zhong beside him and asked.
"Grandfather, why is my little sister's face so red? It seems that her mouth is also red! Isn't it a bit abnormal to be red?"
Old Man Zhong looked at Liu Shiqi, frowned and nodded, "Something is indeed wrong. I'll take a look at her just to be on the safe side!"
Hao also became nervous, "Uh, take a look!"
Everyone stared at Liu Shiqi nervously.
Old Man Zhong continued to take Liu Shiqi's pulse.
Liu Shiqi blinked.
Is my face red? 】
[Is your mouth also red? 】
[But it is true that my mouth hurts a little, just like I have eaten chili peppers, numb and tingling! 】
Liu Shiqi subconsciously looked at Zhuang Yan.
[I also want to know what’s wrong with me! 】
[It seems that I am still very hot...]
Zhuang Yan looked at Liu Shiqi's suspicious eyes, coughed lightly, and lowered his head guiltily.
What should I do? Will Shi Qi find out?
He just couldn't help but kiss her...
It was also at this time that Liu Yong and Zhao Hua discovered that Zhuang Yan had returned to Kyoto and was here now.
The two men hurried forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhuang Yan sat there with a majestic look, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
He raised his hand, "My dear ministers, there is no need to be so polite!"
Liu Zheng was stunned, and hurried over to salute Zhuang Yan.
After getting up, Liu Zheng asked curiously, "Your Majesty, why did you come back at this time?"
"I heard from below that it will take you a few more days to reach Kyoto!"
Liu Yong and Zhao Hua looked at Liu Zheng speechlessly.
Isn't it obvious?
Your Majesty rushed back just for Shi Qi!
They discovered that among the children in the Duke of Rong's Mansion, Liu Zheng was definitely the dumbest and most tactless one!
Zhuang Yan smiled awkwardly and said.
"Come back to do something!"
Hongri hurried in and bowed to Zhuang Yan.
"Master, Master Zhuang has something urgent to do. Please return to the palace immediately!"
The Lord Zhuang he mentioned was Zhuang Yan’s adoptive father, Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yan knew that Zhuang Yu would not look for him unless there was something wrong.
He nodded, stood up and walked to the bed, lowered his head and looked at Liu Shiqi gently and said.
"Shi Qi, I'll come see you tomorrow!"
Liu Shiqi smiled and nodded, "Okay! Brother Zhuang, take care!"
Liu Shiqi's gaze fell on Zhuang Yan's lips and he raised his eyebrows.
[Brother Zhuang’s lips are so red too!] 】
[Looking at it this way, my face also turns red! 】
[It seems that I guessed right...]
All of a sudden, Mrs. Hao, Old Man Zhong, Liu Xin, and Liu Zheng all turned around and looked at Zhuang Yan's face and mouth with frowns.
Zhuang Yan...
Um, I’m about to be discovered…
He quickly said something to everyone and left in a hurry. It was as if someone was chasing him!
After he left. Liu Yong and Zhao Hua also left.
Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why does it feel weird?"
Liu Xin nodded, "It's a bit strange indeed! Before my little sister woke up, Your Majesty had to stay with her every day! He was almost inseparable!"
"But now my little sister finally woke up! His Majesty left in a hurry!"
"As if he was afraid of something..."
“This is so inexplicable!!”
Liu Zheng nodded, curled his lips and said, "Forget it, let's ignore him!"
He looked at Liu Shiqi again and asked gently, "Little sister, you just woke up. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat something?"
Liu Shiqi touched her belly and nodded.
"Yeah, I want to eat something delicious!"
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up. "Tell me, what do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you right away!"
Liu Shiqi said, "I want to eat roast chicken, stewed pig's trotters! Fried fish, stewed pot, roasted lamb..."
She talked about a lot of things, almost all of which were meat dishes.
[Huh, that’s weird!] 】
[It seems like I haven’t eaten meat for a long time! 】
[I really want to eat it!] 】
Liu Zheng listened to her and was about to prepare.
Old Man Zhong quickly spoke out to stop him.
"No, the little girl has been lying down for so long! Her spleen and stomach are very weak, she can't eat so much meat for the time being!"
"I need to eat something light first to nourish my stomach!"
Hao also nodded and said, "Yes, we really can't eat too much greasy food now!"
"Be good! Let's eat something light!"
"I'm just taking care of my body and eating those things!"
Liu Shiqi had no choice but to nod obediently.
Not long after, Liu Zheng came back personally carrying a tray.
A small bowl of vegetable porridge, a small steamed bun, and a few plates of vegetables.
It's so bland it's scary.
Liu Shiqi pouted and finished his meal without any appetite under the gaze of all his family members.
After she rinsed her mouth, she said to Hao and the others.
"Mother, aunt, Aunt Cui, grandpa, third sister and second brother, I am fine now!"
"You all should go and rest!"
They looked at the sky outside and saw that it was indeed getting late.
Hao was worried.
Liu Xin said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother. I will sleep with my little sister tonight! If there is anything, I will come to you!"
"You should go and have a rest quickly!"
"Come see my little sister tomorrow!"
Liu Shiqi also nodded, "Yes, Third Sister will sleep with me! Hehehe!"
Hao finally nodded and took Bai Shuang and the others to rest.
Old man Zhong was already yawning from how sleepy he was. He checked Shi Qi again and then left with his medicine box on his back.
Soon, Liu Shiqi and Liu Xin were the only ones left in the room.
Liu Xin washed up and went to bed.
The two sisters lay down together, covered themselves with the quilt, and started talking.
Liu Shiqi looked at the ceiling of the bed and asked Liu Xin.
"Third sister, I remember I was shot by an arrow before! In the heart."
"And that arrow should be poisonous!"
"Then why am I still...alive?"
“I thought I was going to die.”
"I really didn't expect that I would survive!"
[My mind was really blank at that time! 】
[I just thought, if I die, Brother Zhuang cannot die either! 】
[Thinking about it now, it was really crazy back then! 】
When Liu Xin heard her inner thoughts, she felt a little bit of hidden anger.
Because Shi Qi was able to do this for Zhuang Yan.
As Shi Qi's family member, she was very heartbroken. Fortunately, Shiqi was fine later!
Otherwise, she didn't know how to face Zhuang Yan.
Even though Zhuang Yan is now the emperor, she cannot forgive him.
In fact, no one in the Liu family was willing to talk about this matter, as their attitude towards Zhuang Yan before was somewhat subtle.
But now that Shi Qi has woken up, his family should have let it go.
Liu Xin looked at Liu Shiqi curiously.
So he thought about it and said helplessly.
"Little sister, you saved His Majesty..."
Liu Shiqi was stunned, "Your Majesty?"
Liu Xin nodded, "I forgot to tell you, little sister!"
"Zhuang Yan was originally the legitimate eldest grandson of the emperor, and now he has ascended the throne as the emperor! So we all respectfully address him as Your Majesty!"
"Little sister, when you meet His Majesty, don't call him by the wrong name!"
Liu Shiqi was stunned.
"Brother Zhuang has ascended the throne as emperor!"
Liu Xin nodded.
"Yes!"
“It was last October!”
Liu Shiqi was silent.
Liu Xin continued, "Back then, you helped His Majesty block two arrows!"
"That arrow was poisonous, and it was stuck in your heart! If it were an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot!"
"But I don't know why, my little sister seems a little different."
"You seem to have some mysterious power. Even though your heart was pierced, you didn't die on the spot!"
"Later, grandpa healed your injuries and cured your poison!"
"Your heart is gradually healing!"
"But the strange thing is, you have been unconscious since then! Until today!"
"Grandfather tried every possible way, but none of them worked!"
"Oh, so you've been lying there for more than nine months, little sister! It really scared us to death!"
Liu Shiqi was stunned, "I was in a coma for more than nine months!"
Liu Xin nodded, "Yes! Today is the first day of July! In six days, it will be your birthday!"
"It's also your coming-of-age day!"
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows, "Jigui? That means I will be an adult soon!"
Liu Xin said with a smile, "Yes! You will be an adult soon! Then you can get married!"
Liu Shiqi suddenly looked at Liu Xin and asked.
"Then Third Sister and Brother Liu, have they also gotten married?"
"I remember the date they set, it seemed to be in March!"
Liu Xin blushed and shook her head.
"No, the wedding has been postponed for the time being!"
Liu Shiqi was stunned, "Is it because of me?"
Liu Xin sighed and raised her hand to touch her hair.
"Not entirely, don't blame yourself, little sister!"
"Besides, His Majesty intends to grant us a new marriage!"
"So, don't worry about us, little sister!"
Liu Xin rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Little sister, you should worry about yourself!"
Liu Shiqi was puzzled, "What should I worry about?"
Liu Xin said with a smile, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for nine months, and there is no woman around him!"
"Everyone says that His Majesty is waiting for you!"
"You're almost an adult!"
"Tell me, will His Majesty directly issue an edict to make you the queen?"
Liu Shiqi blushed slightly, then frowned and shook his head.
"I will have a good talk with Brother Zhuang about this matter!"
Liu Xin was stunned and realized that Liu Shiqi was not very happy.
Could it be that Shi Qi doesn't want to marry His Majesty? why is that!
Liu Shiqi changed the subject and asked about the situation in the court.
Liu Xin told her everything he knew?
"The real name of His Majesty is Ji Lingcang!"
Liu Shiqi was in a trance for a moment.
[Ji Lingcang! 】
Why do I feel so familiar! 】
[It seems that there is a person who is very important to me, and his name seems to be Ji Lingcang! 】
[It’s strange, why can’t I remember it? 】
Liu Xin continued, “Last October, Prince Huayan, Prince An, and the deposed Queen Yao started a rebellion.
"The current emperor led the army to suppress their rebellion and successfully rescued the old emperor."
"The old emperor was grateful for the favor and issued an edict of guilt, rehabilitating the former crown prince and making Your Majesty the heir to the throne."
"Not long after, the old emperor suffered a stroke and became paralyzed in bed. He could not take care of himself or speak. He was also unable to handle state affairs."
"So, Your Majesty is legitimately enthroned as the emperor and given the title of Emperor Yong'an."
"After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he issued many policies that benefited the people and the country!"
"Later, he gradually conquered several surrounding countries, large and small! They became vassal states of our Great Xia country, or directly became provincial capitals."
"It can be said that Your Majesty has unified the entire continent here!"
"The common people all respectfully address His Majesty as the Great Divine and Martial Emperor!"
Liu Shiqi nodded with amusement.
[This is still the same as what is said in the book! 】
[Brother Zhuang will become a wise ruler.] 】
Liu Shiqi suddenly frowned again...
